"I want to spend the next three months honing up the F-X in our production house. Have you seen films like 300? That's the level of special effects we should be
aiming at. And I'm going to go for it," says Shah Rukh with characteristic enthusiasm. Shah Rukh is currently looking at various creative and business options for this cherished project. "I guess this is what I want to do next. This is where my heart is at the moment. I want our F-X to be comparable with the best in the world. Dhoom 2 and Don got it right. I want to take the optical illusions even further," he says.
He adds, "For me there are no real challenges. I need to create them."
On KBC contestants who are rude or nervous on the show.
"It happens… I took it all in my stride. For example, the lady who chose to say she wasn't a fan of mine. That's her choice and I respect it. She was a school teacher and probably thought of actors in a particular way. I respect that. What is there to get upset about it? Incidentally, she spoke to me after the show and explained her point of view to me. I was also asked why I gave away watches to some contestants who were eliminated and not to others. My watches, my choice, I guess."
"I wanted the contestants to carry back that experience with them as a special one. Otherwise there would be no real purpose behind the exercise. Yes, I knew most of the answers to the questions. But when I didn't, I made sure I asked Siddhartha Basu (he and I go back a long way to the time when both of us did English theatre in Delhi), or someone else on the sets. Yes, KBC was fun. I like my work to be fun. Which is I don't want to do the kind of films I don't enjoy watching. With due respect, I don't want to be in the so-called offbeat films. I'd rather do my enjoyable stuff. Farah's film Om Shanti Om which I'm shooting for now, is again a lot of fun," he adds.
